NPRFC - 2nds vs Wiveliscombe II

15/09/07 - Tribute Somerset Three South: North Petherton II 40 v 14 Wiveliscombe II

Another six tries earned league leaders Petherton Seconds their third convincing victory of the season at Beggars Brook on Saturday.

Winger Tom Stanley looks for a pass inside

Against a big Wivy scrum, the home forwards struggled in the first half and their line-out was poor all game. Because of that, they led only 14-9 at half time, the visitors having kicked three penalties.

Centre Sam Hoare (with the ball) was prominent in defence and attack for Pethy

Wivy didn't score again, a try, until the final minutes, by which time great inter-play between forwards and backs, as well as a much-improved scrum, had put Pethy out of sight.

Fellow centre Sam Williams was also influential throughout

Fly-half Cameron Kirk opened the scoring after a run down the blind side centre and Sam Hoare kicked the first of his five conversions.

Cameron Kirk cuts inside the last Wivey defender to score the first try for Petherton

There was a second try in successive matches for hooker Matt Glanville and other touchdowns came from flanker Keith Robinson (2), skipper Larry Steward and one of Larry's sons Lloyd.

Full-Back Chris Mantyk made a number of great tackles during the match, including this hit on the visiting captain

Steward, the veteran former Bridgwater & Albion forward, is proving an inspirational captain and even managed to break the table in the changing room during his vehement pre-match team talk!

As ever, Captain Larry Steward led from the front

Outstanding in a good team display was Chris Mantyk, usually a flanker, but playing at full-back, where he made some tremendous tackles.

Usually a Hooker, Steve Stone collects this lineout like a natural Second Row
